    A tour to take your time discovering 2 beautiful villages in the Luberon, including Gordes, which preserves the heritage of its agricultural and artisanal past (local market on Tuesdays).
    You’ll make a stop at the 12th-century Sénanque Abbey, a place of peace surrounded by lavender from June to July.
    Then you’ll go to Roussillon, the ochre village, and its old extraction site set up as a trail, which you can visit (entry included), and then stroll through the colourful village to enjoy a leisurely lunch break.
    Your day will end at Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, where you’ll discover the gushing and refreshing waters of 'la Sorgue,' a fascinating and clear river, and you’ll learn about traditional handmade paper-making techniques as in the 15th century.
